D&D (2024) Character Origins Playtest Poll

[OB1]

Simple question, but feel free to expand on what you have play tested in a gaming session below!

I've had 2 sessions with the material from the Rules Glossary, including Nat20/Crit rules and Unarmed Strikes, but have yet to test Character Race, Background, or Feats.

Nope. But I've argued about them online; that's worth something isn't it?

Joking aside, I asked my gaming group if they would be interested in a one-shot to test out the rules. Most of them had never heard of One D&D, much less of the playtest. When I described it to them, one of them began lecturing me about "switching editions again." So it might take us a while to try them out.

yep, I'm pretty much in the same boat. My table is tired of me switching from a system to another mid-campaign, so they are kinda reticent to listen to me, and they dont really bother with rules anyway. When I told them the rules seems to be heading toward a simpler system, they were enthusiastic though.

So far the changes are so small that they would probably not notice, apart from Feats since we dont use them in our games. I'll see if there's a way to use the new rules without Feats, that'd be great.

Yup. I’ve also ran a session in public play at an FLGS.

Some friends joined that I haven’t gamed with in a long time.

Well, the Nat20/Crit/Inspiration rules can be tested on their own. Was surprised that I got an enthusiastic yes to playtest them with my group and even more so that they asked to permanently adopt them after a single session.

Did the table explode with insane rule contradictions?? Did any fistfight break out about autosuccess on 20 or skill rolls being allowed or not?

No. It was fine. Fun! I found out that inspiration as stated in the rules of One D&D actually works.

For ex Players used inspiration on their own accord and we decided to use before any roll. There was an actual inspiration ecosystem at work!

Some of my Iron Gods 5E Conversion PCs have rebuilt their characters with the playtest doc (except the vhuman druid who refuses to give up his feat) and we are using the new crit and 20 rules.

 

[Vael]

No, but I haven't DMed and I've only even played DnD once since the packet dropped.

You had fun?!?? Playing D&D is too serious for fun! WotC has gone too fsr this time!

But, yeah, I haven't had the chance to build new PCs yet but the new Inspiration seems legit.
